From Sydney Town,
    In uni. break,
I drove out west
    To earnings make
Onion picking,
    On the fields
Of Echuca,
    That year’s yields.

After day’s work,
    From Y.H.A.,
A group of us
    Would not delay
To walk on down
    To the dirt rim
Of the Murray,
    For a cool swim.

On one such day,
    I do declare,
Some three of us
    Had a big dare
To swim across,
    From state to state,
The wide Murray -
    I took the bait.

Yes, foolishly,
    I took the bait -
A choice that I
    Would come to hate,
For I almost
    Did drown that date,
Making the swim
    From state to state.

Enjoyed hearing you at Sidmouth (I was stewarding at the Bedford) and looking forward to seeing you again at Shrewsbury (stewarding there too - cheapskate? Moi?)

Issue 20 of R2 is now on sale. Another bursting-at-the-seams edition includes interviews with UK rock music legend Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, who menacingly graces our cover.

The early career of Acid-folk pioneers The Incredible String Band is re-examined with frontman Robin Williamson, while multi-cultural folk ten piece The Imagined Village talk about that difficult second album. Elsewhere you’ll find cutting-edge singer-songwriters in the shape of John Smith, blues maestro Coco Montoya and young pretender for the crown Dani Wilde, plus UK folk heavyweight Kris Drever as well as  many more of the most happening acts on the roots, rock, blues, singer-songwriter, country and world music scenes … acts like Danny And The Champions Of The World, David Rovics, Chasing Pandora and Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts.

Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details):  A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001 

Out of the museum-and-gallery 
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way), 
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me, 
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay; 
Before, on either side, Marine Parks - 
The southern-one a most beautiful place, 
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards 
In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base. 

Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe 
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above) 
Onto the South Pier I made my way: 
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove - 
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression 
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood, 
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun, 
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
